    Hi Augustas,

    Have you experimented much with the Pulse strategy in Skill #4?

    2.2 Pulse (+PC#16)

    Just a guess, but it might be that you’re thinking of too large of a pulse unit or group of notes, perhaps? If there’s more to think about or more to do in terms of highlighting or bringing out certain notes, it might help to slow things down. One of my teachers essentially suggested that I make things harder to keep better time – like more emphasis on a type of vibrato, etc., which gives you more that you have to do from one moment to the next.

There's an LIVE component too! (for educators)

If you’d like to explore some of the most essential skills and techniques in the course live, with a cohort of curious, thoughtful, supportive, and like-minded educators (and a few mildly irreverent or benevolently sarcastic folks mixed in to make sure we don’t get too serious), that’s also an option!

Starting Thursday, February 3rd, we’ll meet via Zoom once a week, and go through selected strategies related to effective practice, managing nerves, and achieving flow states under pressure. We’ll do some in-class playing experiments (don’t worry – you’ll be muted!), short weekly homework assignments, and small-group breakout sessions to help you integrate these new skills into your teaching.

This 6-week live course is normally $199, but is available at 50% off the regular cost when bundled with Beyond Practicing. For more details about the live course (and dates) CLICK HERE.
